Pilkington Pyrodur®

Overview

Pilkington Pyrodur® is a clear laminated fire-resistant and safety glass (in thickness from 9 mm) designed to provide basic integrity fire protection, but also offering limitation of radiant heat transfer. It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising fewer interlayers.

Applications

Suitable for internal and external applications where fire-resistant glasses are required to provide integrity and a prescribed level of insulation up to class EW 60. Pilkington Pyrodur® is available in single and double glazed form, for use with steel, aluminium, softwood and hardwood timber frames.

It can be combined with functional glasses to produce a wide range of products for numerous applications.
Pilkington Pyrodur® is particularly suited for use in doors, screens and partitions where lightweight, narrow profiles are important and ease of glazing is a priority. Further applications include insulating glass units in façades and roof glazing (special compositions for inclined applications).

Benefits

Provides proven integrity for up to 60 minutes when used in a suitable, tested glazing system, restricting the spread of flames, smoke and hot gases

It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising thinner and fewer interlayers

Special clear intumescent interlayers, reacting to form a rigid, opaque, visual barrier to flames, helping to reduce panic and fear during evacuation of the building

Added benefit of reducing the transmission of conductive and radiant heat from the fire

Totally clear, unobstructed vision

Provides effective noise control

Can provide impact safety performance, dependent upon thickness

Can be combined with other functional glasses for greater flexibility in applications

Available in different thicknesses and compositions for internal or external applications
